Libya reconsiders Turkey maritime deal

A Libyan parliamentary delegation has reopened discussions on the controversial 2019 maritime agreement with Turkey.

According to Libya Review on the 12th of June, member Khalifa Al-Daghari revealed that following meetings with President Erdoğan, the deal may be reintroduced for parliamentary review.

The agreement, which delineates maritime boundaries in the Eastern Mediterranean, was previously blocked due to political divisions. Erdoğan has encouraged Libya to formally reassess the accord, potentially granting it constitutional legitimacy.

The development signals a significant shift in Libya’s diplomatic approach, with potential implications for regional energy exploration and geopolitical relations.
